    Hi there! I just had bariatric surgery on August 11th and have lost over 30 pounds since starting my pre-op liquid diet on August 1st. It has been a tough few weeks. The worst part has been feeling so weak and having to take crushed pills three times a day (yuck!). But I just keep looking at how much better (and longer) my life is going to be as I get healthier. And I know that eating in a more thoughtful manner and exercising regularly will help set my children up for positive lifelong habits. Bariatric surgery is definitely not the "easy way out" that many think it is. It is a tool once other tools have been exhausted. I'm proud of myself and anyone who chooses this journey.

    I had my sleeve surgery on July 29th. I lost 44 lbs pre-surgery by using My Fitness Pal and logging EVERYTHING I ate. Since my surgery, I'm down another 33 lbs -- a total of 78 lbs so far. Woot Woot! I feel great. I never feel hungry anymore. In fact, I have to watch the clock and eat at certain times or I"d go all day with out eating, and that's not good. My relationship with food has changed. I was always an emotional eater. Not any more -- so far. But I know that I can never become complacent or "comfortable." Great to meet you all here! Congratulations on your successes!!!!
